Questions answered

Do exit and car spawn points move around every match?
Yes and no. The exact hatch, gate and sedan you get are chosen at random each match, but they are pulled from a small fixed pool of spots per map, so the same locations keep repeating. Learn a handful of spots on each map and you can head straight to them instead of searching cold from the spawn.
How do I tell which kind of exit I have actually found?
Read the objective panel on the left of the HUD. USE THE STORM CELLAR TO ESCAPE, USE THE EXIT GATE TO ESCAPE and REPAIR THE CAR each spell out the exact steps for that exit, so the game tells you on the spot whether you need to break boards, insert a fuse, or find sedan keys.
Is this page about how to open the exits?
No. This is a where-and-how-to-move reference for live routes and spawn points. The opening mechanics, the police badge threshold and the three-person capacity rule are all covered step by step in the dedicated escape guide.
Which map do the screenshots come from?
The clean in-game stills here are all from Haddonfield Heights, the residential map the walkthrough explores in the most detail. The same video also walks Haddonfield Town Center, East Haddonfield and Orange Grove Estates, each linked from its own map page.

Where are the exits, and how do you walk to them?

This page is a post-launch route and point quick reference: once you load into a live match, where do the storm cellars, escape gates and the sedan actually turn up, and which way do you move to reach them fast. It is built from a full private-match walkthrough of the spawn locations, with every screenshot pulled straight from that footage.

It deliberately does not re-explain how each exit works. The unlock sequences, the police-badge threshold for the wagon, and the strict three-person capacity limit all live in the escape guide. Read that for how to open an exit; stay here for where the exits are and how to route between them. The four launch maps themselves are profiled on their own pages — Haddonfield Town Center, Haddonfield Heights, Orange Grove Estates and East Haddonfield — which recorded the pre-release layouts; this page adds the on-the-ground spawn data that only exists after launch.

How spawns are distributed on a live map

The walkthrough’s core finding is simple: spawn points are randomised every match, but drawn from a small fixed pool per map, so they repeat. As the creator puts it in the intro, “the spawn locations are random every game, but there’s only so many different places that things can spawn … a lot of times the spawns will repeat” (0:31). That is the whole reason a route guide is worth memorising — you are not hunting a moving target, you are checking a short list of known spots.

The creator’s own legend colours the problem in two buckets: yellow for cars, blue for exits (1:01), and each map segment in the video lists the exit spots first and the car spots second. On the live HUD you get the same split for free: the objective panel names the exit you are standing next to and spells out its steps, so you never have to guess which kind of escape you have found.

Storm cellars: the backyard exit

Storm cellars are a walk-out exit — unlock one and you and your residents simply leave through it. On this map they cluster in backyards and hard against house walls, not on the open street. Two physical states showed up repeatedly on Haddonfield Heights, and both then need the padlock dealt with:

Cellar stateWhat blocks itWhat the HUD asks for
BoardedTimber planks across the hatchDestroy the Boards (two-handed melee), then Use a Key or Bolt Cutters on the Padlock, then Open the Storm Cellar
OvergrownCreepers and fallen leaves over the lidClear the Overgrown Plants, then Use a Key or Bolt Cutters on the Padlock, then Open the Storm Cellar

Approach from the wall side; the padlock marker sits a few metres out. Watch at 9:25.

The overgrown variant costs you a clear action before the padlock even matters. Watch at 10:05.

Once the boards are gone or the plants are cleared, the hatch is live and the Open prompt appears — the walkthrough banks a +500 XP Removed Escape Blocker for the last obstacle. Note the cop-event banners (A COP HAS ARRIVED TO INVESTIGATE, POLICE WAGON CALLED) that fire while you work: those belong to the police-wagon exit and are handled in the escape guide.

Cleared and ready: this is the exact frame at which you order residents to flee. Watch at 10:10.

Escape gates: the perimeter exit

The escape gate is the map-edge exit, and it is the most gated one in the route sense — you will usually find it behind a spiked iron fence wearing a red-and-blue PRIVATE PROPERTY NO TRESPASSING sign. Unlike a cellar, it needs power and an unlock:

  1. Use a Fuse to Fix the Fuse Box — a rare fuse goes into the brick-pillar box, then a timed skill check (the R1 ring) restores power.
  2. Use a Key or Bolt Cutters on the Padlock — the chain on the gate itself.
  3. Open the Exit Gate — walk-out, same as a cellar.

The objective panel stacks both the car and the gate checklists here — read which one you are actually standing at. Watch at 10:45.

The fuse-box skill check is the fiddly part; a clean stop on the ring powers the latch. Watch at 10:55.

Because gates sit on the boundary and need a fuse, they are the exit to route toward late, not early — grab a fuse while you loot houses, then save the gate as your planned extraction. Fuses are scarce relative to keys and cutters, which is why the items guide flags them as worth pinging to the whole team.

The sedan: the motorised car exit

The sedan is the motorised exit, and the walkthrough’s own legend keeps it distinct from Michael’s vehicle by labelling the player car spots Cars (Sedan). Finding it is a matter of checking the map’s car spots until you turn up the one that spawned. On screen it is unmistakable: hood up, a FOUND CAR ESCAPE banner and a Discovered Broken Down Car tag.

Spot the raised hood from the kerb — that is the tell for the sedan spawn. Watch at 11:10.

From the side the whole REPAIR THE CAR checklist is waiting: keys, engine, gas tank. Watch at 11:30.

The REPAIR THE CAR objective wants three things — Repair the Car's Engine, Fill the Car's Gas Tank, Use the Sedan Keys to Start the Car — and the assembly itself is the escape guide’s job. For routing purposes the takeaway is placement: sedans spawn on driveways and kerbside, so once you know a map’s car spots you can lock the vehicle down early and use it as your anchor while you ferry residents out. Which survivor you bring also shapes your opening kit, profiled on the Heroes of Haddonfield roster.

Reading the street: how to move between points

The connective tissue is movement. On a residential map like Haddonfield Heights the exits sit at the edges and backyards, so the efficient route is to work the perimeter and the fences between houses rather than sprinting down the middle of the road.

Use the lit houses as navigation landmarks; loot them on the way to a yard exit. Watch at 9:30.

Open blocks like this are where you are most exposed — cross them quickly, dwell in yards. Watch at 9:45.

Where these routes sit on each map

The same walkthrough covers all four launch maps, so the pattern above repeats with a different flavour per district. The clean stills on this page are from Haddonfield Heights, but the video also physically walks the other three — check each map’s own page for its landmarks and pre-release layout, then come back here for the live spawn behaviour.
